LYNCH LAW INDIANA.
The Doors OF the Jail Battered In and
Murderer Taken Out and
DLynched.

INDIANAPOLIS, October o. Early
this morning a mob Of about two hun
dred men made an assault on the Jail at
Delphi, Carroll County, their purpose
being to secure the person Of Ames
Green, who is charged with numbering
Miss Lurella Mabbtt. Green had until
Wednesday been confined in the prison
at Michigan City, as precaution against
possible lynching, but on that day he
was brought to Delphi, where his trial
was to be held. The Sheriff did not au-
ticipate any trouble and had taken no
precautions. When the assault was
made he had only one deputy to assist
him. The mob hammered in the wood
en- door leading to the residence part Of
the Jail, and twenty masked men. armed,
rushed in and demanded the keys OF the
Jail proper. This was refused, when a
man with slcdgehammer and cold
chisel broke the locks and forced the
doors. Green wrenched. of piece OF
water pipe and tried to defend himself,
but was quickly overpowered, taken
from his cell, placed in a wagon and
driven out of town in the direction Of
Walnut Grove, several miles east, and
not far from where the murdered girl
lived. There Green was lynched.
Ames Green was one Of the most des-
perate criminals that ever afflicted 1ndi-
ana. In August, 1886. he abducted and
is supposed to have murdered Lurella
Mabbitt, farmers daughter. He was
captured in Texas last July, with his
brother, Bill Green, also murderer,
and both were taken to Michigan City.
for protection from mob violence. Bill
Green is now on trial in Miami County,
and Ames's case would have come up
here today on motion for a change OF
venue.

thousand five hundred miles, passed
through seventeen States, crossing three
OF them twice, and had seen and been seen
by (variouSly estimated by different
members Of the party at from one to
tivr) millions OF American citizens.
There We're no brass bands, no COM
mitteemcn, no crowds at the station
here, and it is nothing uncom plimentary
to the people whom tile President has
visited 10 say that every one OF the tour
lists was glad OF it. The President
and Mrs. Cleveland and Col. Lamont
entered thei carriage and went to the
White House. Postmaster General and
Mrs. Villas were driven to their home.
Dr.. Bryant and Mr.. Bissell went to
breakfast with the President, after
which they took trains respectively for

eral ways. Pullman cars were un-
coupled for the first time in three weeks,
and the Presidents special ceased to be.

Up in Atlanta
Special to the Register.

WINNsBoRo, October 22.-Robert H.
Means, OF this county, went to the Pied
mont Exposition at Atlanta. While Sit
ting in the lobby of the Kimball House

Choked to Death by a Peanut.
Cortland y. y. Standard.

Two weeks ago last Monday, while
Bessie, the twenty TWO months old
daughter OF Mr.. aud Mrs. Eugene Hop
kins, was eating peanuts, one got into
her windpipe and passed down into the
right bronchus. She began choking vio-
lently. Her mother tried 10 stop the
choking, and sent for DR.. White. Soon
after he arrived the peanut seemed to
come up into tile trachca, and she was
at once relieved, although the peanut
could not be gotten out. On the fol-
lowing Sunday she lad another choking
spell, caused by the peanut again pass
ing down into the bronchus. Drs.
White and Hyde, who were called,
could do little for her, and just as they
thought she would die, the peanut again
came up into the trachea aud she stopped
choking. Had the peanut been fixed,
an incision could have been made in the
trachea and the nut could have been
removed, but it kept moving about and
was liable 1T any time to return to the
bronchus. There was no further trouble,
however, until last Monday, when sud-
denly, while playing on the floor and
apparently as we'll as ever, the peanut
again slipped down into the bronchus
and before she could be relieved she
died.

STATE PENSIONS FOK CONFED.
CRATES.

The Marion .Star says that an ef-
fort will probably be made at the
next Legislature to have bill passed
pensioning all Confederate soldiers
who we're NAMED or disabled in the
late war. The Star truly says that
the manned and wounded soldiers
returning home twenty-three years
penniless have all these long years
fought the battle Of life manfully, and
none are seen seeking aims, bat on
the contrary as a rule lead in all
successful vocations, and therefore
does moi; think there is any demand
on the part of the old Confederate
heroes for any such legislation.
We agree with the Star on the
subject of pensions in general where
it says:
las to pensions generally it might
be urged that they are the subjects
Of more abuse than use. To one de-
serving man who secures 6 pension,
there are about a half dozen frauds
who manage to foist themselves on
the honest tax payers, as instanced
by the great army of suttlers, camp
followers, &C., who now prey on the
National Government and consume
an appropriation in amount more
than sufficient to sustain the immense
standing army that France or Ger
many is required to keep in constant
readiness
We have heard nothing of such an
effort as the Star mentions being
made to the Legislature, and We do
not think there will be any demand
for such legislation. AS tie Star
says the survivors associations are
being formed all over the State and in
this way if there are any needy cases
they will receive attention.

Republican Profession and Democratic
Performance.
Philadelphia Record.

A campaign document, issued by the
Republican Committee OF New York,
modestly claims that the Republican
party ''has practically given each citi-
zen a free home by securing the public
domain from the monopoly capital" AS
Mr.. Squeers remarked. Here's rich
ness - Since President Cleveland went
into office. two years and a half ago, his
administration has been busily engaged
in the effort to restore to the people a
portion of the public domain that the
Republican party recklessly sqnandered
in land grants to railroad corporations
or permitted cattle ranch syndicatcs,
Spanish grant claimants and foreign
earth hungerers p steal Commissioner
Sparks, in his annual report, estimates
that in this time the General Land
Office has recovered for the government
and restored to the people land greater
in area than the entire State of New
York. This work OF land restoration is
still going on, and a far larger portion
OF the spoliated public domain will be
recovered unless the administration shall
be driven from power or baked by a
Republican majority in the Senate.
Such is vivid contrast between the
Republican profession and the Demo
cratic performance in the matter OF the
public lands.

Trouble in the Cotton Oil Trust

CHICAGO. October 22.-There are ugly
rumors among the stockholders of the
American Cotton Seed Oil Trust about
the Finances of the concern. Shortly be-
fore the last quarterly dividend of ! per
per cent. was passed, it was known that
there was Sl5O,OU0 in the treasury. The
stockholders have repeatedly demanded
to know what has become of this money,
but they can't find ont. The resignation of
John o. Lewis. President of the Trust
adds to their uneasiness. Lewis was
known to be heavily involved in the dis
astrous Harper Wheat deal. The stock
holders fear that the dividend money
went up in that deal. They Will probably
bring the matter before the courts.
